Created by Nickantony Quach, the video series NDBaker93 has been a daily show on the YouTube channel Ri4CTV since the release of its debut episode the 5th of October, 2019.

About Season 1

The first scene from Episode 1 in Season 1 captures the first encounter (9/20/2019) between Nick and Norm when he and his cousin rode their BMX to the so-called Trinity Skatepark, formally known as, Adrian Hall Skate Park, in Providence. At the time, neither Norm nor Nick realized that they have Jairson Ascencao as their mutual friend. | Who is Jairson?

Fully released by 10/29/2019, the first season of NDBaker93 introduces viewers to Norm. During the first ten episodes, Norm gets to know more about Rhode Island Foresight Television (Ri4CTV) in the same conversation with Nick who is most of the time standing off screen. After the tenth episode, viewers get to know more about Norm and witness the on-camera, in-reality development of his personal character. The series thereby introduces viewers to both Thumoslang, the nomenclature for social life, and Providence Haven, a local impromptu music group. Norm and Nick met one another the second time during the first Haven gathering, which took place on the first of October. Part of it is captured by the video, “Providence Haven – The First Event”, which is Episode 22 in Season 1 of NDBaker93. | Watch the video | Season 1 Thumbnail Images | Tell me more about Season 1

About Season 2

Fully released by 11/22/2019, Season 2 introduces Jairson as the second co-host of NDBaker93. It also introduces Elias Turner. They are co-organizers of the impromptu music group Providence Haven.

Five weeks later, on 2019 Election Day, the four signed their first business partnership agreement and started to work as one: #We4inPVD. This is highlighted by the final episode, We 4 in PVD, in Season 2. The agreement is basically a simple list of seven core values, one of which is Thumoslang. | What is Thumoslang?

Irregular Release Schedules

Episodes in Season 3, Season 4, and Season 5 of NDBaker93 are not released according to the daily schedule as adopted by the first two seasons.
